I disagree. Players pack then didn't have the shots like they do now. Players didn't block shots like they do know meaning the puck didn't use to pinball of everything .. Who knows where it will hit goalies now.
I play goal and wouldn't wear the pads I use to back when I started. No ####ing way. I get hit in places now that I never had to worry about before.
Smaller pads won't provide more entertaining games. 1players are just more skilled to day. You give goalies smaller pads and paul Byron becomes a supertar. Smaller pads makes half the leuge 30 pluse goal scorers.
Make the players go back to the old wooden sticks and all the old school big puffy gloves that restricted movements then I might get on that side of the convo.
You know what eles those generations had that we didn't? They didnt think seatbelts were for safety/airbags, smoking anywhere you wanted, jagermister was a offically a cough medicine, no helmets on motorcycles etc etc.
Life progresses and old men need to get over it.
